Songs Title：north country blues[00:00:01]

Come gather round friends[00:00:05]

And Ill tell you a tale[00:00:07]

Of when the red iron pits ran plenty [00:00:11]

But the cardboard filled windows[00:00:16]

And old men on the benches[00:00:19]

Tell you now that the whole town is empty [00:00:22]

In the north end of town [00:00:30]

My own children are grown[00:00:32]

But I was raised on the other [00:00:37]

In the wee hours of youth [00:00:43]

My mother took sick[00:00:46]

And I was brought up by my brother [00:00:50]

The iron ore poured[00:00:57]

As the years passed the door [00:00:58]

The drag lines an the shovels they was a-humming [00:01:03]

Til one day my brother[00:01:08]

Failed to come home[00:01:11]

The same as my father before him [00:01:15]

Well a long winters wait [00:01:22]

From the window I watched [00:01:25]

My friends they couldnt have been kinder [00:01:29]

And my schooling was cut[00:01:34]

As I quit in the spring[00:01:36]

To marry john thomas a miner [00:01:41]

Oh the years passed again[00:01:48]

And the givin was good [00:01:50]

With the lunch bucket filled every season [00:01:55]

What with three babies born [00:02:01]

The work was cut down[00:02:03]

To a half a days shift with no reason [00:02:07]

Then the shaft was soon shut[00:02:15]

And more work was cut [00:02:17]

And the fire in the air it felt frozen [00:02:21]

Til a man come to speak[00:02:27]

And he said in one week[00:02:30]

That number eleven was closin [00:02:34]

They complained in the east [00:02:42]

They are paying too high [00:02:45]

They say that your ore aint worth digging [00:02:49]

That its much cheaper down[00:02:55]

In the south american towns[00:02:58]

Where the miners work almost for nothing [00:03:02]

So the mining gates locked[00:03:11]

And the red iron rotted[00:03:13]

And the room smelled heavy from drinking [00:03:17]

Where the sad silent song[00:03:24]

Made the hour twice as long[00:03:26]

As I waited for the sun to go sinking [00:03:31]

I lived by the window[00:03:37]

As he talked to himself [00:03:39]

This silence of tongues it was building [00:03:43]

Then one mornings wake [00:03:49]

The bed it was bare [00:03:52]

And is left alone with three children [00:03:57]

The summer is gone [00:04:03]

The grounds turning cold [00:04:05]

The stores one by one theyre a-foldin [00:04:09]

My children will go[00:04:16]

As soon as they grow [00:04:18]

Well there aint nothing here now to hold them[00:04:23]
